Dysregulated cholesterol metabolism, driven by a complex array of mechanisms, is a defining characteristic of glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, supramolecular nanoscavengers are engineered by harnessing the intrinsic binding affinity between endogenous small‐molecule cholesterol and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD).

Lysosomal acid lipase: at the crossroads of normal and atherogenic cholesterol metabolism [PDF]
Unregulated cellular uptake of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in the arterial intima leads to the formation of foam cells in atherosclerosis. Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) plays a crucial role in both lipoprotein lipid catabolism and excess lipid

Modulation of lipid metabolism with the overexpression of NPC1L1 in mouse liver
Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 protein (NPC1L1), a transporter crucial in intestinal cholesterol absorption, is expressed in human liver but not in murine liver. To elucidate the role of hepatic NPC1L1 on lipid metabolism, we overexpressed NPC1L1 in murine liver

Interaction between filovirus glycoprotein (GP) and the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is essential for membrane fusion during virus entry. Some single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in two surface-exposed loops of NPC1 are known to reduce viral ...

Recommendations for the detection and diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease type C: An update. [PDF]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) is a neurovisceral disorder that may be more prevalent than earlier estimates. Diagnosis of NP-C is often delayed; a key aim for clinical practice is to reduce this delay.

Molecular actions of hypocholesterolaemic compounds from edible mushrooms [PDF]
Cholesterol levels are strictly regulated to maintain its homeostasis; therefore, if it is not absorbed with the diet, the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway is enhanced and vice versa.

Cholesterol Overload: Contact Sites to the Rescue!
Delivery of low-density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential for cholesterol homeostasis, yet the mechanism of this transport has largely remained elusive.

The metabolism of APP protein in lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
Nedavna istraživanja su pokazala da povišena razina kolesterola može mijenjati cijepanje prekursora proteina amiloid-beta (APP) i utjecati na nakupljanje peptida amiloid-beta (Aβ), glavne patološke značajke Alzheimerove bolesti (AB).

Sterol-binding proteins in late endosomes : Regulation of endosome motility and lipid metabolism [PDF]
Despite its bad reputation in the mass media, cholesterol is an indispensable constituent of cellular membranes and vertebrate life. It is, however, also potentially lethal as it may accumulate in the arterial intima causing atherosclerosis or elsewhere ...

Dysregulation of fatty acid uptake and triglyceride transport can induce excess triglyceride accumulation. We propose that rice protein might suppress fatty acid uptake and/or triglyceride transport.
